Remove zero values on estimates (leave as white space)
We can't always estimate based on a single line item so we frequently have line items that are part of a larger "Item". It would be great if no values are inputted for Price or Quantity columns then those columns (along with the amount column) would just show white space rather than $0.00.

You can now use Sections on estimates, invoices, work orders, and material orders. Each section has a setting for showing the line items and totals, hiding the totals, and hiding the line items themselves.

Enjoy!

We'd love to do it that way too, but we have too many possible combinations of items which would make it really cumbersome. If you need examples, please free to ask!

Nesting would be great too, but we'd still need the ability to "hide" zero values. As an example:
Area I: Main Driveway
Remove old driveway.
Grade subbase.
Place oil and stone.
Area I Totals: 2200 Sq. Ft. @ $1.45 = $3,190.00Area II: In front of garage
Remove old driveway.
Grade subbase.
Add additional subbase as necessary.
Place asphalt surface.
Area II Totals: 600 Sq. Ft. @ $1.85 = $1,110.00It looks a little cumbersome when we do this now because we have a whole table full of zero values. We can't put a price for each individual line item for a variety of reasons. We also have too many options for each proposal to group the items together under one item (we'd have hundreds of combinations that would be impossible to sort through). To be clear, we'd still want the Item Name/Description columns to be visible to the customer. We'd just want to hide the Price/Cost/Amount columns hidden. Thanks for the consideration!
